Mother's Day Wedding

Well it's not an "issue" so to speak, I'm just curious if anyone else has done this and if they felt bad saying hey I'm having my wedding in Mother's Day, but no kids allowed.... ya know?

I don't think I have a terrible turn out so far but I plan to do something special for the moms attending anyways.

My wedding isnt on mothers day. But we are allowing people to bring kids. We are a blending family and i was them all to be part of it. I mean there isnt many that i know of going but also with my kids being there all night it was just right. But A.L.C. is right i wouldnt want to ruin my relationship with my siblings cuz your being stubborn about kids.

I would attend. I think it really depends on each individual guest. My family is very flexible with holidays (we celebrate thanksgiving the Saturday before, and Easter the Saturday before so people can stay the whole time and don't have to run from event to event.) so I know my mom would be just as happy to celebrate Mother's Day on another day and I would feel the same when I have kids.

I think Mother's Day is overblown. Have your wedding and enjoy it. Maybe during the reception somebody could say a brief, "Happy Mother's Day to all our special ladies". Guests can celebrate later or earlier. I don't think it is a big deal. I would definitely attend.

Honestly, I would have picked another date just because it's courteous to let your guests spend time with their mothers/children on that day but if there's a specific reason you chose that date and you had to have it on Mothers' Day then there's much you could do and just be prepared for RSVP'd no's.

Also, your wedding is in a month. Shouldn't you already be receiving RSVPs?

ETA: Ah.. just saw your last comment. I would not make the wedding no kids allowed AND on Mother's day. And if I did, I would feel bad. That's just me though and only you really know your crowd.

I have a birthday that lands on mothers day a lot and it's tough because it's a day that has always gotten shared between my mom and I. Are you prepared for Mother's Day to also be a day that shares your anniversary date?

I think it's fine you didn't invite kids tho

I think it's fine and you didn't realize it. I don't have kids, but would think I'd be okay celebrating mothers day on a different day (minus it being my 1st one perhaps), especially if I really wanted to attend the wedding.

We do weddings on MD and FD every year. I almost always mention moms in my ceremonies, and on MD, I expand that to include all the mothers in the audience.

Every day is mothers' day.

I think it depends on how many of your guest have young children. I feel like Mother's Day is a bigger deal when your kids are younger. Kind of like birthdays. Some of your guests may decline due to any holiday, you just have to be ok with that. I have been to plenty of weddings the Saturday before MD and FD but none actually on the Sunday.
